Salisbury, MD — The City of Salisbury is pleased to announce that, effective Nov. 4, on-street parking will be free in any of the more than 250 spaces in Downtown Salisbury in an effort to enhance accessibility for those who are conducting business.
This is the first step in a change of parking philosophy downtown, that comes just in time for the holiday shopping season. Free on street parking, with a 2-hour limit to ensure that there are spaces available throughout the day, will simplify the parking experience while encouraging more people to enjoy the vibrant offerings of Downtown Salisbury.
As part of this initiative, parking kiosks in the downtown area are being removed or covered. All parking will remain free in the evenings (after 4 p.m.) and all day on the weekends as well as on holidays just as it is currently.
“Free on-street parking in downtown isn’t just about convenience; it’s a catalyst for economic vitality for our small businesses who rely on foot traffic,” said Allen Swiger, Director of the Arts, Business and Culture Department. “Don’t forget to shop small during the holiday season!”
More parking news is to come as the City moves closer to implementing a new parking management software.
For any questions or further information about free on-street parking or our permitted lots, please contact the City’s Parking Division at 410-548-3195.
